Overall I was happy with the race. Overall, a more difficult course than previous races I have run in the past. There is an overall elevation gain for the race with a big hill coming out of sand hollow around mile 6. Faded a little toward end of the race, but not too bad. My training had been a little less than I wanted because I had my anesthesia boards last week and had been spending most of my time studying for those. Then we went on vacation for 5 days after my test, so fewer miles than wanted. Unfortunately I had to stop at mile 10 to use restroom, GI issues. It was the first time I have had to do that in a race and probably cost my about a minute or so. Here are my splits:

1- 6:32

2- 6:44

3- 6:53

4- 6:43

5- 6:57

6- 8:03 - majority of this mile is hill out of sand hollow

7- 6:36

8- 6:41

9- 6:40

10- 7:31 - bathroom break

11- 6:35

12- 6:29

13- 6:33

Overall pace of 6:47
